This is denied by one of the company's

NE WARK.

Special Correspondence Of Gazette and journal
NEWARK, March 1.-THE new town
charter has been adopted by large ma
jority of the progressive citizens, and,
upon its formal ratification by the Cen
eral Assembly Newark will enter into q
form of municipal government.
The meeting of the tax. payers OF the
town held il Grange Hall last night,
was we'll attended, and many representa-
tive men of the town were present to
champion the question at issue.
William Shippers presided and the com
mittee of nine representative property
owners and taxpayers Of the town was
present to submit and explain the new
charter, which had received revisions and
amendments at its hands during the past
two days.
The separate sections of the charter
were read and discussed and 1t required
much elucidation on the part of the mem
bers TO remove the vague suspicious OF III
opponents. The cardinal feature of the
charter is in the executive part of the
government. This is vested in a city
council Of seven members, two elected
alternately in each ward and the seventh
man to be elected at large. The town. al
stated in report of the mrs
meeting, is to be divided int
three wards, the western, middle ant
eastern portions of the town, the onl.
divisions admissible, owing to the singu
lar topography of the town, which reache
a mile and a-half in length and only one
fourth or one.sixth of mile wide. Tn
beneficial effect of this change of cleo
ton will be the obliteration of tn
strict local lines which resolved itself int
the ''up.towners and down-towners,
Finally 1t was almost unanimousl
adopted and ordered to be sent TO tn
Legislature OF once.
The question Of the extension of th
towns limits was then called and pre-
voked vigorous discussion. The extende
limits will increase the area fully on
square mile, making total of two and
half square miles in the town lines
Several exceptions were taken TO il b
men living within a few feet c
the town limits, and who cor
demned tho involuntary citizenshi
with attendant tax, &c, to which the
would be subjected. However, the vot
on the matter resulted overwhelmingly j
favor OF the increased limits. There VIZ
an opposition, of course, but it was &
weak and unpronounced that no notice {
it was taken The charter will take etfe'
| upon its passage at Dover.

taken out in basket was placed on the
grave together with several taper candles.
The monrners had also quantity of fire.

allowed TO set off. The object Of all this
was that the crackers should awaken the

The body Of Daniel Sanders, colored
man employed as stable boss for the
Charles Warner Company, was found
living on the south bound track Of the
p, W. q B. railroad at the foot Of Madi-
son street, at IL 80 O'Clock on Saturday
night BY the crew of shifter No. 50. The
remains were horribly mutilated, end it
Is thought that an entire train must have
passed over him. Sanders was in the
habit Of going on sprees and on Saturday
night he was on one of his periodical
drunks in company with William Walker,
William Ru iolph and man named
Fountain. They were In Trusty's barber
shop on Saturday night, and Sanders
and some Of the others were then already
drunk. Soon after they left, passenger
train went by followed by freight,
which la supposed to have mangled him.
Coroner Barnbill Monday morning en-
paneled a Jury. There was no evidence
of foul play, although the jury adjourned
until Tuesday morning 10 hear the testi-
mony of his three companions. Sanders
lived in double wedlock, and two alleged
wives are now negotiating to bury him.
He lived on Second street between Lom-
bard and Poplar.

MILFORD.

Special Correspondence OF Gazette and Journa
MILFORD, March 17.-About 8 O'Clock
on Tuesday evening flames were seen
issuing from an old wood-shed and stable
at the back of Peter F. Causey's mansion.
The hook and ladder truck was promptly
on hand, and the buildings pulled down.
Notwithstanding the limited supply Of
water (the wells giving out in 15 minutes
and it was low tide) the fire was soon
under control. The principal loss was o
lot Of dye-wood that Mrs. Causey had on
hand, the buildings being worthless. II
was clear that had the fire spread all the
people could have done would he to fold
their hands and let it burn, until engines
could be brought from Wilmington, The
impression is that the property holdert
would rather take this risk, than spend
any money for water supply.

Special Cores pondence Oi Gazette and journal
KENNEpYvILIR, Nh, March 23.--The
citizens of this place were thrown into a
state of excitement about Z O'Clock this
morning over the suicide of Fl. F.
McNeal, agent for the Mutual Life In.
surance Company Of New York. MoNeal
is 45 years old and has for the last year
made his home at the Kennedyville hotel.
About 80 o'clock this morning the
proprietor of the hotel heard noise in
McNeal's room, but supposing he was
moving trunk paid no attention to the
sound, but as ne did not respond to the
breakfast bell the proprietor went TO his
room to knock, whereupon he found the
door unbolted. He entered and found
McNeal lying upJn the floor, and pistol
shot above the right ear from which the
brain was oozing, and the head in q pool
of blood.
A pistol tightly grasped in the right
hand told of the awful crime. From the
wound it is supposed that death was in
stanteous. As he was dressed it is undis.
puted that he willfully committed sui.
eide. The cause Of his action cannot be
ascertained. An inquest will be held over
the remains.
McNeal is the son of Presbyterian
minister, who was principal of the Sails
bury Academy at Salisbury, Md, during
the youth of the deceased. He leaves
mother and sister in Baltimore and
sister in California.
